Sorry this is late. I am only now checking in on Sunday morning. (10:25 PDT). But here is the fresh page for those who want to post!

Partnership

When Nick became really sick
he was admitted into a clinic
where he met a guy named Bob
and the two began to hobnob.

They worked out an agenda
and Bob became the message sender
while Nick used his remote
his own interests to denote.

When they left the clinic Bob moved in with Nicky
and their friendship was helpful and never sticky.
Then after years of some inaction
the time had come for traction.
And though for some time they had tarried
they finally became happily married.

WC- nice work on today’s Wordle.
I went with the King James English in guess 3.

OwenKL- I see you used the Wordle similarly in your poem.
Glad you are feeling well enough to join us today. Wishing you a full recovery.

Misty- I was a little confused by the names- Bob, Nick, and then Nicky?
Then I wondered if Nick had transitioned into Nicky.
Either way, I liked your use of “traction” and “ inaction”.
I did not manage to get any rhymes into my offering today.

Misty said...

Loved your hopeful verse about Chet and Lois's upcoming wedding, CanadianEh!. Very sweet.

Your comment just made me realize a silly mistake I made early on. I first came up with the rhyme "sick" for "clinic" and thought I'd give the lines a bit more of a poetic sound by making my protagonist "Nick." But later on when I needed a rhyme word to go with the Jumble word "sticky" I turned the name Nick into the more playful "Nicky."

The whole time I was a little uncomfortable with how to end this relationship between two guys who had been in a clinic together--but in the end decided to just go with marriage, even though this is the first time I've ever done a rhyme about a gay couple.

Only after seeing your e-mail did I realize I could have made the first reference to Nick be to "Nicky", and made her a girl, and then the romance would just have been the usual. Well, maybe its not a bad idea to try something new once in a while.

I bet after hearing all this, you're glad you didn't bother to worry about rhyming words, and still ended up with a lovely poem, CanadianEh!.

CanadianEh! said...

Thanks Misty. I hope Chet and Lois set the date soon, and that Pastor Carl is available to marry them.

Thanks also for explaining Nick/Nicky. I did think it was a different genre for you.

Ol' Man Keith said...

CanadianEh! & Misty ~ Glad to see you both were able to post your pieces on this Sunday page.

Again, I am sorry to open the shop so late today. But at the risk of being overly repetitious let me add this friendly REMINDER (for ALL, incl. WC, Owen & any other interested viewers) that I aim to take Sundays OFF.
This means of course that I am not going to be around on Saturday nights, the usual time for flipping the date. If you’re able to set this up in advance, Owen, that would seem to be the ace solution!
THANKS, Everyone!

Now that I’m already here, let me post my own hint-less Wordle:
Wordle 470 3/6

⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜
⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Seems to me this completes a string they began about a week ago…

Misty said...

Well, you did better than I did on today's hint-less Wordle, OMK. I tried it only because you and Canadianeh! both did too.

Wordle 470 4/6

⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨
🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜
🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

CanadianEh! said...

Misty- Nice work with hintless Wordle

OMK- I don’t always get here on Sunday, and rarely before lunch anyway. Thanks for opening today.

Ol' Man Keith said...

You are very welcome, CEh! I’m glad I was able to help.
Neat verse, BTW…

Ol' Man Keith said...

A very decent Wordle, Misty, showing you are not at all hint-dependent!

I just went hunting for where "Carl" was mentioned as the Pastor. Found it and I also reread Owen's poem and discovered there really was a a Wordle hint and of course C-eh had his usual.

But hintless you still scored par, Misty so your good at Wordle after all

I sent a text to Archie but he never saw it until we were out at the flea market this afternoon

By the time I got home I needed a nap and spent an hour solving xword, reading write-up and commenting

Now do I have some Chet,Lois,Charles, Nora,Holly or Carl news?

We'll see

OwenKL said...

Since you can set the date for a post to show up it's as easy to set one up in advance for how after many days you want. no need to stay up past midnight. Set it up at noon the previous day.

Wilbur Charles said...

At Holly's suggestion Chet and Lois went to the church where Pastor
Carl was presiding. In his sermon it was clear he had an agenda.
His topic was the message from James: "Faith without action
Is dead." Lois had heard similar said at a rehab clinic oration

She'd also denoted the idiocy of doing the same thing
Twice
And expecting a different result. Or inaction is a type of vice .
At Carl's church they got to hobnob with other AAers they knew.
Anonymity was a sticky wicket when asked, seemingly out of the blue:

"Where did you meet my friend Eddie Brown?"
"Oh, I think I met him somewhere uptown"

Here's my eagle on today's

Wordle 471 2/6

🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Like escaping unscathed from the beehive with the honey

WC

Wilbur Charles said...

I couldn't start exactly with a J-word so I did the next best thing

BTW, I couldn't grok the riddle-solution for Sunday but I realized after looking it up that both Misty and C-eh had it in their poems.

And without necessarily rhyming c-eh you've got readable poetry

Misty if the blog bot-censor read your poem he might not think it was MA but closer to PG.

C-eh, is Carl's last name Fudinski ?

WC

Wilbur Charles said...

Or is it Fusinski? OMK will probably get it
